About Our Founder
The paintings of Janeen Schissler have been featured in solo and group exhibits throughout the United States and Canada including the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Schissler's work is in private and corporate collections, most recently those of Idaho Forest Industries, Coeur D' Alene Mines and Leaning Tree, Incorporated. Teaching art became a passion so Janeen began a second career in 2008 as the director of "The Studio" Art School in Bellevue, Washington. After 30 years in the fine arts field and teaching Janeen developed a curriculum with an emphasis on classical art instruction.
